Why write this blog?


I am writing this blog because when I started to investigate the world of Comenius Projects I found almost nothing that was of any use to me in starting up my own project. Since then things have improved a lot but I would like to think that anyone that finds and reads this blog will get a lot out of it and will be encouraged to participate in their own project. Here I am recording all the steps I take and all the ups and down I experience, the honest unvarnished reality.

If anyone would like to contact me to talk further about comenius projects please don't hesitate to do so.

Teething problems

Some things have changed since my last post, some good some bad.

The Bulgarians have managed to put the rest of their students on their page together with quite a lot of the basic facts we had to place there. The go into some detail too, though not as much as we have done on our blog. At least my students now have some more people to write to.

Poland have put some of the basic facts on their webpage, albeit very briefly, but no sign of the students yet.

The Italian page is still written mostly in Italian and has provoked some controversy as Nando published our whole Comenius application form on the site, Dominika and the rest of us protested at this as it is our hard work and not something that someone else should be able to just copy and paste. Nando replied that in the end it is published anyway by the authorities and anyone can take it but as Dominika also pointed out, on our application are our personal addresses and telephone numbers too!! He has taken it off the forum.

Apart from that Dominika has been protesting at the lack of movement from most countries, after all only Germany and us really have done what we are supposed to have done so far. Even Dominika herself is behind in the work, though her real complaint is that we have heard almost nothing from Cyprus, Sweden, Greece and Italy. With the first meeting only a couple of weeks away this is a little worrying.
